Java Garbage Collection

在C/C++中，需要自己负责object的creation 和 destruction. 如果忘记了destruction, 就容易出现OutOfMemoryErrors.

Java中会有GC直接处理unreachable objects.

• 什么是unreachable objects: 

1 Integer i = new Integer(4);
2 // the new Integer object is reachable  via the reference in 'i' 
3 i = null;
4 // the Integer object is no longer reachable. 

在stack中的variable指向在heap中的Integer object. 当i = null时, Integer object becomes unreachable.

• 如何使一个object变unreachable.

通常有4种方法:

1. Nullifying the reference variable
2. Re-assigning the reference variable
3. Object created inside method
4. Island of Isolation

• 如何request JVM to run GC

当一个object 变成unreachable时，通常它不会立刻被GC清除.

可以通过System.gc() method 或者 Runtime.GetRuntime().gc()来request JVM to run GC.
